great news indeed. we are developing a dynamic (HMVC) CRM system using Kohana3 and PHP 5.2, traits can really help use do our CRUD system a lot more dynamic, and probably other stuff too.

we are running the system on our own dedicated CentOS server ... and although we are developing with PHP 5.3, the most updated good package repository I've found is Jason Litka's repo, with PHP 5.2.x, he says he still got compatibly problems with the Zend Framework, so he won't update. so i guess using 5.4 on production will take some time. and i'm not talking about other virtual hosting providers who tend to update this things very slowly.

oh, i see now it has been stroked trough! =]

thanks for this article! a very interesting one! didn't know Google Chrome is using Qt GUI framework...

i'm a LAMP web application developer. i know some C++, although never used it in any real-world project, and i strongly agree with the author... if a day comes and i'll need really good performance from my application, think there's only one true solution and it's writing C++ code.

  Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
  Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible,
  you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

been checking some simple game development solutions in my spare time ... been looking into SlimDX, and then discovered pygame - http://www.pygame.org, works on linux and windows, it's a Python based lib, now i dunno python but it was really easy to start crating nice stuff in no time.

why would you write SQL with JavaScript? don't think that JavaScript yet at a point it can run heavy GUI element, handle AJAX, maybe Video or 3D and Query a database. JavaScript likes JSON very much, so all you need is just export your data with a language like PHP in JSON format, and handle it with JavaScript.
